A MODEST

The Sun expresses qualification over an
editorial expression of The LEADER on
the subject of public lands. Our esteemed
contemporary seems to be very easily graf
flied, aud for our own part we feel disposed
to pump it full of the same sort of JOY
whenever the occasion may warrant.
We were, however, panied to observe the
following as its opening expression Of
qualification:
The above editorial utterance by THE
LEADER IS exactly what the Sun has been
praying for, even as David of old prayed,
"Oh, that mine enemy might write a
book"
The accomplished editor of the Sun
claims a profound and monumental knowl-
edge of land matters; we regret that bis
knowledge of tie bible seems somewhat
more contracted. Perhaps it will crafty
our esteemed contemporary to learn that
the quotation which it so recklessly at
tributes to David as a matter of fact orig
mated with JOB. In the copy of the
bible which we have at our elbow, and
which we will cheerfully place at the dis
posal of the editor of the Sun whenever
he desires to consult its sacred pages, we
find in the thlrty.second chapter and
thirty-ffth verse of Job this expression:
"0h that one would hear mel behold,
my desire is that the Almighty would
answer me, and that niue adversary had
written a book"
On this bright and beautiful Sabbath
the editor of the Sun could not, perhaps,
bestow his leisure to better advantage
than by studying the f~elicities of style and
nobility of sentiment 20 be found within
the printed pages of a plain, everyday
Bible.

In addition to the two large islands
recently discovered in the Pacific ocean,
a third has just been discovered lying
less than 100 miles from the northern
coast of New Guinea. 1t has been named
Allison Island, is nearly three miles long,
rises about 100 feet to $50 feet above the
sea, and has abundant timber. Several
stretches of fertile and inhabited land,
some of them much larger than Allison
Island, have been found within a few
from the New Guinea coast, and similar
discoveries are made once in a while in
various parts of the Pacific. Although
the maps of the Pacific ocean are studded
with islands which appear to be lying
close together, vessels may sail among
these islands for weeks together without
once coming in sight of land. So vast is
the waste of waters, that not long ago q
crew which had been shipwrecked in the
great island region of the Pacific rowed
north forty days before they reached
Hawaii, the nearest land.
Mr.. A. r. Wallace, who has travelled
widely in the Pacific, has expressed the
opinion that there are still a good many
islands which have never yet been seen
by white men. Now and then q Pacific
trader finds some new or little known
island, and opens trade with its inhabi-
tants. When the Woodlark islands were
explored some time ago, it was found
that an Australian firm had carefully
charted the islands several years before,
and had been quietly trading there, all
unknown to the other Pacific merchants.

In CERTAIN stages of civilization it is
considered superluous to controvert an
adversary's statements; the mere allega.
ton that he is a liar is deemed sufficient
to cover the ground. The Sun of yester.
day contained an article in which it at,
tempted to draw a bold distinction between
the elastic methods of Secretary Tel
ler's administration and the stringent
methods of Secretary Lamar's. From be
ginning 10 end the article is simply loose
and reckless assertion without any attempt
being made at substantiation.
We confess that considering the ener
getic way in which our contemporary has
howled for months past we expected some.
thing more positive and tangible. Indeed
we regret that the article was so helplessly
weak for it would have given us pleasur,
TO point out the sophlsms which the SUI
quite frequently mistakes for truth.

IT Is TO be hoped that unless there are
the gravest and best of good reasons to
the contrary a hearing in the Mccoy mur
der case will not be deferred. We say
this without the least prejudice against
Mccoy and while heartily favoring a free
and fair trial. The witnesses in the case
come chiefly from Lusk and the surround
ing country and the costs already amount
to about : 300. The Trumble trial was
a grievous source of expense and the Nc
Coy case threatens to be little less than a
public calamity. The county is in no
financial condition to undergo enormous
expense and, while we hope Mccoy will
receive an impartial trial, the TACT that he
cannot do so should be clearly evident be-
lore the case is made more b~urdensome to
the taxpayers.

The perils o. "rivermen' in getting
down the drives are but little known to
the outside world, especially when there
Is a Jam, and the attempt Is made to
break it. When one of these big jams
occurs It requires not only skill, but a
great deal of daring, to start it. Often
times it is a marvel how those spike
booted fellows, armed with their steel
spike poles and cant dogs, escape with
their lives. When the huge mass of logs
wedges in between the banks of the
river, apparently inextricable, confusion
ensues. But these blave, tough men have
quick eyes, and are as nimble as cats,
with. perhaps, as many lives. When
the jam is started and the resistless, tur-
bulent waters set the wrenching and
cross bound logs to spinning and plung-
ing downward in O tremendous roar, the
agility and recklessness which they dis
play in leaping from log to log, to reach
the shore In safety, forms as exciting c
spectacle as N would care 20 witness.
Most of these log drivers are French
Canadians. There has been a great
change of late years in the nationality of
those who handle the woodman's ak,
and who work on the rivers. Formerly
Yankee crews were generally employed;
now foreign labor is chiefly hired from
the provinces. There is an army of "P.
E. L. men,, y as they are known, hired by
the Penobscot lumbermen, who come
from Prince Edward Island. There is
more or less feeling shown by the Yankee
riyermen toward the French Canadians
who work with them, which frequently
eliminates in desperate fights. ''The
Forks of the Kennebec has been often
the scene of these bloody encounters in
thee early spring months when the driv-
ing season opens, and later on during the
summer months when the "Kanucks''
come down the Canada road t. hire out
to the Maine ~haymakers. Generally,
Canadian "white whisky" as it is called,
is at the bottom of these fights, which
usually wind up with a score of "Ka-
nucks'' getting their faces sadly dis
figured, especially if any of the notorious
Bear family take a hand in these fistic
battles.-Augusta CMe.) Letter.
